Door Jamb of Rau

    The inscriptions on the jambs state that Rau's tomb was given as a favor from Thutmose III.
    The text goes on to say that the tomb was to take the "exact form" of Thutmose's temple Djeser-akhet at Deir el-Bahri.
    Rau was also Chief Steward of the god Amun whose principal temple was at Karnak on the east bank of the Nile.
    Rau's tomb was probably somewhere in the Theban necropolis, perhaps in Dira Abu el-Naga, a cemetery directly across the river from Karnak.
    Wherever the name of the god Amun appears in the text, it has been erased, probably during the reign of Akhenaten, near the end of Dynasty 18.
    The god's name was later restored.
    At the bottom of each jamb, Rau is depicted seated before an offering table.
